BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxin Type A) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary). It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

BOTOX® Cosmetic has an established record of experience that Dr. Guttenberg knows and trusts — it’s precise and predictable. Dr. Guttenberg decides precisely how to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic for best results.

Having a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is one way to temporarily treat moderate to severe frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines).

What Is the Treatment Process

The treatment process for BOTOX® Cosmetic is simple. Here’s what you might expect at Dr. Guttenberg‘s office from the moment you arrive until your procedure is done.

Before the BOTOX Treatment

You will schedule a consultation with Dr. Guttenberg to determine whether you are a candidate for treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic

At your consultation you should tell Dr. Guttenberg about your goals to determine where to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic. To do this, Dr. Guttenberg may examine your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create furrow between your brows can vary among individuals.

You should ask Dr. Guttenberg any questions you may have about your expectations for treatment.
